Description
The Lean Years: A History of the American Worker, 1920-1933 by Irving Bernstein In the 1920s, the United States was often portrayed as a land of prosperity and excess. However, for millions of industrial workers, this era was marked by hardship and struggle. Working-class communities were already facing crisis before the stock market crash of 1929. Irving Bernstein's book recaptures the social history of this pivotal decade, uncovering widespread inequality and shedding light on the long-forgotten struggles that paved the way for the great labor victories of the 1930s. By examining the complex factors that led to these events, Bernstein provides a nuanced understanding of how ordinary people responded to their circumstances. This book offers a fresh perspective on a critical period in American history, revealing the often-overlooked stories of workers who fought against poverty, eviction, and police violence.
